A federal judge in Newark has ordered a snack food maker to pay a $33,000 sanction to a rival company after it produced a newly amended report moments before a scheduled deposition.

The sanction was imposed on Lotte International America Corp. for improperly supplementing an expert’s report just moments before the deposition was supposed to start. The Oct. 10 sanction from U.S. Magistrate Judge Leda Dunn Wettre follows a Sept. 9 final judgment by U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo, who dismissed the underlying claims and counterclaims for attorney fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
